I confess to you the truth had I not thought of the possibility of being att the head
of the profession I never would engage in it it is a profession I am exceedingly fond of
I prefer it to any it is one that affords the largest field for the exercise of
that kingd of knowledge which I seem to have gotten the clue to.

you know very well you have read Helvetius you know it is the hopes
of being able to make improvements to acquire reputation to surpass
others who have been in the same way that pushes one on.

but you also know I you know that my prevailing passion
is love of reputation Money you know I consider in no
other light but as affording the means of satisfying my
darling passion. In the Kings service although the profits
are not large yet could I have confidence put in
me could I but have the favor of those in power although
I should not have mony yet I should have that for which
alone I should want it. I should might have also mea
assistance in trying my experiments in pursuing my researches.
what I have & shall have of my own with the addition of the little
I should have as salary would satisfy me in such circumstances
